In a world where everything moves fast, where new consoles drop every year and graphics seem to matter more than ideas, I keep going back to the Super Nintendo.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s stubbornness… or maybe some things never stop belonging to the present.
The SNES isn’t “outdated”: it’s history, it’s a creative language, it’s a different way of making games.
Working on hacks today means taking something old and making it breathe again with modern ideas and real passion.

In an era where everything is instant, I choose something that takes time.
In an era where everything is pre?made, I choose to build.
In an era where everything is digital and forgettable, I choose a piece of memory that refuses to die.

And I’m curious to see how many of you feel the same.
Who’s still connected to that era? Who still plays retro? Who understands this “madness”?

You're right, I already posted that. Sorry about the repeat!

Uh, because you're a legend!
Plus new games and consoles suck to high heaven.

Now in the gaming industry it's all about greed and money and how much the companies can screw the consumer over where back in the old days it was about innovation, competition, and creating an overall fun experience.

It really started to fall apart after the 6th generation in my opinion. When the digital server age began. Covid-19 just made things even worse and created the ''lazy era'' of modern gaming that we now have where games aren't finished on schedule anymore and still require a ton of patches for the following year.

Haha, a legend? I wish! I just keep working on SNES hacks because it's still fun for me. That kind of creativity never really went away.

The SNES is one of the greatest consoles ever produced. Anybody modding for the SNES, NES, Master System or Mega Drive/Genesis I respect highly because the 3rd and 4th generations were very special and very competitive.

You're breathing new life into something old and giving games more replay value so you should be proud of yourself and yes, in years to come you will be a living legend.

Thank you so much for your words, really.Knowing that my work can bring new life to a piece of history like the SNES is incredibly rewarding. The 3rd and 4th console generations were truly special, and being able to work on them today—with passion and respect—is a privilege.

I have to admit, since I wasn’t seeing many replies under my posts, I thought there wasn’t much interest.Comments like yours show me that there are people who genuinely appreciate this kind of project, and that gives me even more motivation to keep improving and creating.

If even one person has a bit more fun thanks to what I do, then it’s already worth it.
